Patent number: 11847864Abstract: A detection sensor or a user device is used to aid in providing authentication and activation of a door system when a user tries to access the door for ingress and egress. Operating parameters of the door systems may be set to allow ingress and egress only when a user is identified and authorized. As such, the operating parameters of the door systems may include authentication and activation parameters such that the door systems are controlled, at least in part, based on the presence of a user and/or a user device and the identification of the specific user. As such operating parameters may be different for different users or types of users. Moreover, the user device may be used to authenticate a user and control ingress and egress through the door automatically or through an authentication action taken by the user.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2022Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: ASSA ABLOY Accessories and Door Controls Group, Inc.Inventors: Brian D. Hass, Dustin Lawhon, David M. Price, Henry B. Wallace, Lisa Corte Lovejoy, Kenya A. Moses

Patent number: 11756410Abstract: During operation of the door system one or more sensors may be utilized in order to monitor the operation of the door assembly (e.g., door system, door, frame, etc.), review the operating parameters, troubleshoot potential issues, schedule and monitor service requests, review and take actions for potential security threats, and/or the like. Consequently, users may determine if the door system operates the door in accordance with the desired operating parameters by reviewing the movement, vibration, speed, acceleration, force, or the like based on the sensor information captured and use the information to adjust the door assembly. Notifications regarding the operation of the door systems may be sent automatically and/or in response to requests from users. The users may utilize one or more applications and interfaces thereof to remotely connect to the door systems in order to review and analyze the sensor information and take the desired actions.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: ASSA ABLOY Accessories and Door Controls Group, Inc.Inventors: Brian D. Hass, Dustin Lawhon, David M. Price

Publication number: 20230146416Abstract: A door system includes a controller for controlling the door system. A user computer system transmits information to the controller over a wireless connection to modify operating parameters for controlling the operation of the door system. During installation of the door system sensors may be utilized to determine if the door system has been installed properly. The sensors may be used to identify if the door system is mounted level and plum, and to review the movement, vibration, speed, acceleration, force, or the like of the sensors, and thus, the components to which the sensors are operatively coupled in order to make adjustments to the door assembly. Furthermore, the operating parameters of the installed door system, may be cloned and provided to other door systems in order to quickly clone and distribute the operating parameters of one or more door systems to one or more other door systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2023Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicant: ASSA ABLOY Accessories and Door Controls Group, Inc.Inventors: Dustin Lawhon, Brian D.

Publication number: 20230067945Abstract: A door system having a linkage assembly with a drive arm and an attendant arm coupled at the ends through a gear joint. The gear joint has drive teeth on an end of the drive arm and attendant teeth on an end of the attendant arm. The drive arm is coupled to a motor in the door system that is coupled to a door, or a door frame or a wall. The attendant arm is coupled to the opposite of the door, or the door frame or the wall to which the door system is coupled. When the door system is installed on the push side or the pull side of the door the drive arm and the attendant arm are parallel with the door and the upper door frame. During operation the motor transfers the torque from the motor through the gear joint to open the door.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2022Publication date: March 2, 2023Applicant: ASSA ABLOY Access and Egress Hardware Group, Inc.Inventor: Brian D.
